I'll take your word for it that you rarely eat fries or rarely eat out. Not
a single fast food joint I've patronized serves "extruded fries." Frozen,
yes, that's how they can serve truckloads of them daily, extruded, no.

I'm no foodie, never have claimed to be one and never will be one, but
I eat "Mystery meat" quite frequently!

Yum-yum sauce comes to mind.

I once saw an item about Dutch mince meat. It was meat from African
cows. But because of conditions there, the meat was too lean. Luckily,
the EU had a mountain of excess beef fat from other sources. So they
would add some of that to the mince meat to get a good level of
fattiness. Mystery meat alright.

We use very little ketchup but I like some on cold leftovers,
especially on a potato omelet. I haven't noticed any change over the
decades in Heinze Red. And it's extremely easy to jazz it up with
ordinary cooking ingredients... one of my favorites is to add some
real maple syrup, zips up most any leftover meat sandwich... will even
save a mystery meat burger. If McDs offered real maple syrup with
their condiments they'd double their sales.

Another definition for "factory farming?"

I love bread pudding. I would make it more often but my wife doesn't
like it because of the carbs.

Cubed SPAM makes it Ukelele style... I'll eat a can of SPAM at least
once a week... I must be part Ukelele... I enjoy a graham cracker
crust pie filled with ground SPAM and crushed pineapple held together
with lime Jello.
Yesterday's lunch was chicken eggdrop soup with diced SPAM and crispy
Chinky noodles... was gonna open a can of Lychees for dessert but
thought I'd wait for a holiday occasion. Yoose gals want to know the
closest thing to oral sex with a woman eat fresh Lychee... but use
caution or yoose may turn Lesbian in under five minutes. LOL

Cow manure is a common smell at my place. Living in a rural area you
have to get used to the smell of it. The nursery behind us uses large
quantities of manure, much if it being pretty fresh. They bring tons and
tons of it and dump it in the back and within a couple weeks they will
be back there spreading it.

The first few years that we lived here our neighbours had chickens,
geese and pigs. It was only really bad on still, hot summer nights and
that smell would settle like a toxic fog.
 
 
Thank goodness he only had a half dozen pigs. I used to drive past a pig
farm to one of my jobs. In the warm weather (pre A/C) I had to remember
to roll my car windows up before I passed that farm because it would
take another 5 miles of driving to get the stick out of car.
 
 
If you want a really bad stench check out a chicken farm when they are
preparing for a new batch of chicks. Hatchlings are brought in my the
thousands. They go into big open barns with heat lamps, water and feed.
They eat, shit and grow for about two months before it is time for
slaughter. The chicken catchers go in, catch the birds and stick them
into cages to be loaded onto trucks.
 
Then it is time to clean the barn for the next batch. They send in front
end loaders to scrap up all the shit. I don't know how those guys do it
because you can smell a barn cleaning from miles away.
 
 
The agricultural stink that people complain about most around here is
the pot farms. Personally, I don't find the smell of pot to be
particularly offensive, but it is pretty strong. I can smell it
frequently at my house and the closest grow ups are at least two miles
from me.

My son lives in a rural area and can't drink his well water. The
groundwater for miles around has been contaminated by leaching of pig
manure spread on the fields by major pig operations, all run by Mennonites
it seems.

Just about everything was canned. Cooking usually involved opening at
least a half dozen cans.

I thought Ophelia sometimes mentions that she uses a killfile. So
Windows Live Mail must have that then.

The new "fencing" and "Tag Team" videos are funny.
